Why Max Verstappen doing the Nurburgring 24 Hours can be positive for F1, motorsport and himself

Max Verstappen’s efforts on the Nurburgring Nordschleife have rightly attracted a lot of attention in recent weeks – and it’s good for Formula 1 and motorsport as a whole, as well as the Dutchman himself.

Now that he has the required DMSB Permit A, Verstappen can contest a Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie race in a full-house GT3 car. And, more importantly, he can do likewise in the Nurburgring 24 Hours, a race that the 27-year-old has expressed an interest in.
